Last month, we reported that Apple might soon launch the iPhone SE 2022. Now, a report has surfaced stating that Apple has imported the new iPhone SE model for testing in India along with the iPad Air refresh and a new budget iPad.

According to 91mobiles, industry sources have informed that the upcoming iPhone models are imported under model numbers A2595, A2783, and A2784. The smartphone is said to be priced at around $300.

The report claims that this could be the iPhone SE 3. However, previous leaks have stated that Apple has delayed the SE 3 to 2023 and will likely release the iPhone SE Plus in the coming months. So we are most likely looking at the test samples of the iPhone SE Plus.

Other than that, the report reveals two new iPad models that have entered the country for testing. The devices carrying model numbers A2588 and A2589 are believed to be the iPad Air refresh dubbed the iPad Air 5. The two model numbers hint towards WiFi-only and WiFi+Cellular models. They carry a price tag of $500-$700.

The budget iPad carrying model numbers A2757 and A2589 is priced at roughly $300.

These devices will most likely come with a higher price tag than mentioned above due to added import duties and other levies so we suggest you take these prices with a grain of salt.

So far, the upcoming iPhone SE 2022 or the SE Plus model is expected to come with a 4.7-inch Retina HD LCD display and will also feature a Home button with a fingerprint sensor embedded. It is likely to be the last Apple smartphone to come packed with an LCD display panel and a home button.

It will be powered by the Apple A15 processor along with 3GB of RAM while there could also be a Plus variant that will pack 4GB of RAM. The chipset also brings support for 5G connectivity to the phone. There will still be a 12-megapixel single camera sensor on the back with improved photography features.

Previous leaks have indicated towards an April-May launch of the iPhone SE 2022, however, judging by this recent development, Apple might launch the new iPhone in early spring.

Back in October 2021, rumors surfaced that Apple had postponed the iPhone SE 3 and would instead release the iPhone SE Plus in 2022. Now, DSCC analyst Ross Young who initially broke the news in October is back with more details regarding the upcoming iPhone SE models.

The iPhone SE series is a line of affordable small-screen iPhones that was first introduced in 2016. The second phone in the series didn’t launch till 2020 and a successor is expected to arrive in 2022.

Next SE model is rumored to be called SE+ 5G and will have a 4.7" LCD. Previously said the next SE model, SE3, would either have a 5.7" or a 6.1" display. It is now looking like it will be 5.7". May be launched in 2023 rather than 2024.

According to the latest tweet by DSCC analyst Ross Young the next iPhone SE model will indeed be called the iPhone SE Plus. The SE Plus will be the first device in the SE lineup to offer 5G support and is expected to house a 4.7-inch  LCD display. The device is also expected to retain the same design with thick top and bottom bezzles and have a Touch ID button.

The iPhone SE Plus is expected to debut in the next few months with the A15 Bionic chip, improved rear camera sensor, and 5G support.

Ross Young also states that the iPhone SE 3 might launch in 2023 rather than the previously predicted 2024 timeline and will have a 5.7-inch display.

Going by recent CAD renders, the iPhone SE 3 will retain the same rear design and have the same dimensions as the current iPhone SE. However, on the front, the device will offer a bigger screen by getting rid of the massive forehead chin, and touch ID button found in current-gen SE models. The SE 3 is also expected to house the A15 Bionic chipset and support 5G bands.

There have been numerous reports of an iPhone SE 3, a successor to the iPhone SE (2020). The phone is expected to be the last Apple smartphone with an LCD display and should have 5G support. New info has surfaced and it reveals the iPhone SE 3 has been postponed. However, a new model called the iPhone SE Plus will launch next year.

The iPhone SE series is a line of affordable small-screen iPhones that was first introduced in 2016. The second phone in the series didn’t launch till last year and a successor is expected to arrive in 2021.

According to Ross Young (@DSCCRoss), the latest news regarding the iPhone SE series says Apple will launch an iPhone SE Plus in 2022. This phone will have a 4.7-inch LCD like the iPhone SE 2020, which is actually the same display as that of the iPhone 8. The phone will also have 5G.

We now hear the next LCD iPhone will be introduced in 2022 and called the SE Plus with the same 4.7" LCD as the 8 along with 5G. We hear the iPhone SE3 with a 5.7" – 6.1" LCD is now pushed to 2024. https://t.co/9gxiAAk8Yi

He adds that the iPhone SE 3 which should have an LCD between 5.7 and 6.1 inches has been postponed to 2024. The new release date means Apple is sticking to a 2-year cycle for the iPhone SE line. Unfortunately, there is no explanation as to why Apple has changed its plans.

None of the info above has been confirmed yet, and while the source has a great track record, we still advise readers to take it with a pinch of salt. Manufacturers are known to change their plans and it can sometimes include the cancellation of a product.

The post iPhone SE Plus with 5G coming next year, iPhone SE 3 postponed appeared first on Gizmochina.

Jon Prosser was recently described by Macworld as “the Apple rumourmonger who hasn’t missed yet”. Sure thing, the tipster burst into the scene not too long ago and was accurate about so many things regarding the iPhone SE including the exact launch date. The tipster has now suggested that Apple may have got an iPhone SE Plus in the works and promises to deliver some information on the Plus size variant soon.

The iPhone SE was launched on April 15 featuring a design similar to the iPhone 8. The launch of the model which is powered by the latest A13 Bionic chipset resulted in the discontinuation o the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus sales. This is another indication that a larger display variant of the iPhone SE may be launched as a replacement for the iPhone 8 Plus.

Should have some iPhone SE Plus news for you soon.

It was previously reported that the “iPhone SE Plus” moniker was spotted in the iOS 14 program code. Thus, throwing up the possibility of its existence. The iPhone 8 Plus is equipped with a 5.5-inch display and we expect the upcoming model to feature the same screen size. The model is also expected to packs dual camera setup at the rear.

We should point out that nothing is confirmed at the moment so take this piece of information with a pinch of salt.
